The black tortie stirs from his sleep only to find that there's golden fur next to his own and he can't help but roll his eyes at this, out of habit, he wishes to envelope his arms around the other but he refrains from doing so. They're arent mates... they aren't anything from what he remembers and so, Roostertuft decides that this couldn't continue or their clanmates would end up getting the wrong idea about both of the toms. With a paw, he brushes off the strands of nest material from his plush pelt only to roll away from the other with both of his ears pressed flat against his skull. He rests on his back and glances towards the foliage that makes up the warriors den for a long heart to contemplate moving his nest.

He spares a glance in the direction of it only to notice the way that both of their nests had merged together into one big nest. It must've been because of their bodies constantly rolling over until the nests had woven together and he knows that it'd be too much work to try tearing his half away. Roostertuft wouldn't be assed in doing that so he rolls onto his stomach so that he pushes himself onto his paws and only spares a brief glance to the heap of golden fur that he's leaving behind "'m gonna start from scratch." The patchwork tom mumbles to himself as he lips out from the warriors den without another word, surely, it'd be easy enough to find some nesting material.

His whiskers twitch noticing that the sun begins to slowly rise in the distance and he allows himself to sit down to watch it, maybe it'd help wake him up. Rooster stays there for a hour or so before he starts to get to work in searching for things that he could use for his nest, he manages to find a few things which he begins to put into separate piles or tucks it into his fur so he didn't misplace it. A few feathers stick out of his plush coat like odd plumage that matches the feathery tail that he has and begins adding it to the pile, a small frown on his face as he debates over if he'd use all of this or lend it to someone else.

Roostertuft finds his nose in some of the taller blades of grass before pulling away to sneeze and shakes his head afterwards, he takes a few steps back to examine the pile. Now, the real trick was to start weaving it together until it took the shape of a nest that he could lay in and he'd figure out the placement of it later... just so that it's far from the golden boy. Maybe he looks a bit silly doing this... he feels rather silly but tries to ignore it knowing that this would help him in the long run, right? The warmth of the sunlight melts into his pelt and bones which causes him to feel drowsy while his paws get to work on weaving, he grits his teeth with frustration when his head bobs from subtle exhaustion but he ignores it as he sits upright "There we go."

"speech", thoughts, attacking
a large, longhaired black smoke tortie/blue ticked tabby chimera with a pair of earthy toned eyes and low white
has complicated feelings towards goldenroar and subtly interested in nutmegpurr

charismatic, stubborn, adventurous, aloof, and awkward would be a few words that describe roostertuft as an individual. a former barncat that's getting accustomed to clan life after the events of the barn burning down, he oftentimes misses the life before it burnt down yet he's someone who'll adapt to change.

Nutmeg rises when the sun does, she gives Rooster a sharp nod as she passes by his sitting form, dragging her paws like she always does in the morning... But at least she gets the job done. She has half a mind to ask if he wanted to join her, but he looks focused and so her jaws promptly snap shut as she passes by him quietly. She disappears out of the camp.

When she returns, he's still in camp and her brows furrow for just a moment, thinking that something, anything must be wrong for him to be still sitting down... She draws closer, a mrrow of laughter thats hardly audible leaving her chest. He's still hunched over something (and it looks like it'd be a painful position, really), and as nosey and clingy as she has been so suddenly this past moon, she obviously wants to know. Her paws drag her to stand right over him.

"What're you doing?" she asks, curiosity coating her tongue as she peers over his shoulder, curled ears swiveling back as she observes. It's a bit obvious on what hes doing, paws together, weaving... A nest, maybe, or something for the kits to play with? She'd never been the best with weaving, but... She tips her chin up. It's more time to spend with a friend whose attention she has grown to like. "Do you want help? I can't say i'm the best at it, but i'll try." she shuffles over to sit on the opposite side of him, sending him a tired smile. She feels the beginnings of a yawn coming on, but she doesn't quite move towards him or away, keen to just watch until shes given explicit permission. "Is this for the queens?" she'd feel a little less bad (as horrible as it is to think) if she had messed up a nest for someone else other than him.

    "speech"
 
This isn't for her. She decides as much when she parts from her slumbering pile with the other apprentices and spies Roostertuft digging through tall grasses and moss, pressing pieces of it all together rather fruitlessly. Sure, she could help the older tom - that's in part what being charitable means, is it not? But the apprentice gives in to a bout of selfishness instead and decides that if she's going to lend her paws to anything, it'll be after a morning meal first.

By the time Charitypaw finishes her mouse, she finds Roostertuft in the same spot, this time joined by Nutmegpurr. The molly says something about the queens, and Charitypaw grows interested if only by a morsel more. Well, if they're earning good behavior points, then sign her up. She'd like it if her life was lived in service of others, especially those who cannot help themselves as easily. Her paws draw her closer to the duo, though expertly avoids the train of yawns that occur, tilting her gaze away from them if only for a moment until the conversation continues.

"I'm sure the caretakers would like something new - the kits could enjoy a few feathers to play with, too. I could find a couple?" Charitypaw offers her own resources in a manner similar to Nutmegpurr, her tail sliding across the ground.
